Patient came in for lens exchange due to dislocated intraocular lens. I'm using 996.53.

My question is regarding the 379.3x codes. Do these codes only apply to a patient's natural lens or can they be used for IOL dislocation as well? Any supporting reference material for opinions would be welcome.
